[h=1]TV: McHale, Obama bomb big time in DC[/h]
I gotta say, Saturday’s 100th anniversary White House Correspondents’ Dinner was one of the biggest TV flops of the year.

What happened? I’d rather have Stephen Colbert go rogue again than have a repeat of what viewers endured Saturday night. Obama was not only unfunny, but seemed distracted and disinterested — I could identify with that.

Worse, one of TV’s smartest and funniest guys, Joel McHale, was a nervous, off his game, whiny, wimpy disaster. Could you hear the tepid laughter? Or was it so minimal you missed it? Every time the cameras panned to the audience, you could feel the desperate search for someone who wasn’t just sitting there, mouth agape, or dozing quietly.
